Things Yankees Fans Hate

I ran a topic on Twitter…called: #ThingsYankeesFansHate and I got a ton of responses. It even became a trending topic in New York City. I thought I would share a bunch with some of you guys. I don’t agree with all of these, but I’ll let these fans speak out (so, don’t get offended). Here is a list in no particular order:

Things Yankees Fans Hate

The Boston Red Sox and Red Sox Nation

The Wave

Dallas Braden and “His Mound”

West Coast Night Games

Fox, Joe Buck, Tim McCarver

Fans who wear Yankees jerseys with a name on the back

ESPN, ESPNNewYork.com, Joe Morgan, Jon Miller, John Kruk

Now, I’m sure you could come up with a lot more. If you want me to add more to the list, feel free to drop more in the comments section below.

A Yankee Hate List and nobody mentions Ben Affleck/Matt Damon/Mark Wahlberg/Stephen King, dumb Michelle Beadle from SportsNation or the Seattle Mariners scumbag front office that pulled the rug out from underneath us at the last second on the Cliff Lee deal?! C’mon man!

I don’t believe a word Paul O’neill says. I truly believe he only says something because he believes it is his turn to talk. He just said in the Red Sox game that the pitcher was dripping wet and Jetes was dry. Textbook he called it? Textbook what? Jeter grounded into a double play.
